***More from the FED. There was an October 13 Financial Times article titled, "Lael Brainard, a Fed Governor in the Political Glare." FT Fed watcher Sam Fleming supports my long-held view that Lael Brainard is "… a vocal advocate of low interest rates at the Fed–based in part on the absence of wage growth." The article paints Brainard as globally oriented and she regularly cites concerns about overseas shocks and the strength of the dollar being a potential drag on domestic economic activity. She is widely respected by groups like FED UP who push for the Fed to be far easier for far longer in an effort to stimulate wage gains at the expense of corporate profits. The article said Brainard could become the first female Secretary of Treasury in a Clinton administration, a job for which she is better qualified than a Fed Governor.
This is so stupid. ITALY has been a GOOD CITIZEN OF THE EU, even displacing an elected Prime Minister Berlusconi in order to placate Brussels with their hand-picked choice of Mario Monti. The loss of its automobile manufacturing should make ITALY rethink its place in the EU, and, according to Herr Wissman it really doesn't matter for BREXIT. Things change regardless of a nation's situation within the EU. Wow, Alice, this is really some rabbit hole.

Yra; Thank you for your post(s). I started following your posts as a referral from Mr. Dunn. I found your highlights of the Brexit, Draghi, Italian, and Spanish (Spain) situations very stimulating. The statement that you provide me today from Yellen is scarier than anything I'm likely to encounter this Halloween! Basically, she is throwing away hundreds of years of actuarial science in order to justify…. what???? How can this Fed make any claims that their decisions are data-driven when she has just told us that they will focus on specific selected singular data points? This is the same science as global warming/cooling/change…..
If a dollar becomes more valuable, but a wage remains the same dollar amount, has the wage not had the affect of increased buying power?
I understand the argument that global trade would be negatively effected, however, lower inflation makes a main street dollar go further, thus acting as a wage increase satisfying at least one criterion for a rate hike.
Koo and Krugman are on opposite ends of current economic theory. One has been proven right and the other despite Nobel awards has been a failure but is still enshrined in the Fed Pantheon.
If it doesn't work, just keep trying it again and again. Insanity.
Read Koo's recent works on helicopter money.
Newton's law on actions and reactions don't play a role in the confused state of our Central Bankers. Scared indeed.
So true, the brain trust opens mouth, inserts foot.
I guess if UK consumer discovers high prices, he more easily obtains employment. The best social program is a job.
Seems to me British Pound has no reason to weaken, given UK won't be hamstrung by the same self-interested invading forces Italy, etc., have been exposed.
What steps are the EU taking(en) to ensure manufacturing thrives in Italy or is EU's claim to fame an exporter of jobs?
Yra, I repeat my appreciation for you sharing your thoughts, thank you.
Ah I see. There's always the news media excuse and then the underlying reason for these moves.


If you're one of the people who believe that boxing can't draw anymore, you may not want to continue reading this because your theory is sure to be debunked.
According to ESPN's Dan Rafael, May 6th's PPV headlined by Canelo Alvarez dominating 12-round victory over Julio Cesar Chavez is set to be a huge success after hitting "at least" a million buys.
There are no official numbers yet, but over a million buys for a boxing card in 2017 where many people seem to be skeptical about boxing can only be viewed as great news for the future of the sport.
After the fight, it was immediately announced that Alvarez's next fight will be against Middleweight star Gennady Golovkin in a bout that the boxing world has been wanting for quite some time. Now it's finally going to happen on September 16, with Triple G's unified Middleweight title likely on the line.
If Canelo vs. Chavez did over a million PPV buys, one has to wonder what the number will be for a fight that has the potential to go down as the biggest fight of the year after months and months of failed negotiations.
From Anthony Joshua's impressive victory over Wladimir Klitschko back in April to the aforementioned superfight between Triple G and Canelo, fans of boxing are sure to continue to enjoy what has been a stellar 2017 for the sport.

90% of people that come in the gym don't need a specialized program. They need fitness. There is no magic formula or complex algorithm that is the key is success, in fact it is quite simple: practice full body high powered functional movements, push yourself to your mental and physical limits, and change up the duration, loading, and tasks your perform. This will give you big results in many different areas, setting a strong base of general physical preparedness. And it is likely that for most these results will continue to improve for a very long time, before they plateau as long as the consistency and intensity are there. But lets say that you reach that plateau and find that while many areas of your fitness are strong, you have identified some weak spots that are not congruent to your other capacities. It is possible to work on those weaknesses while maintaining your overall fitness within your program. Here are some ways to fix that chink in your armor.
Method#1- Add extra work in this area in the warm-up or cool down of your workout. For example if you struggle with pull-ups you could warm up with some kipping pull-up skill, or you could cash out of your workout with a finisher of 2 sets of max strict pull-ups 3 times a week. If you struggle with the Olympic lift you could work on positions and skill with a barbell in the warm up or add some short extra lifting work after the workouts 3 times a week.
Method#2- You could program the capacity you lack more frequently in your workouts. 3 days a week could be a workout focusing on this area. For instance if you need your strength, Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays could be just dedicated strength days with your other two training days focusing on overall fitness, not just strength.
Whatever it is you choose to specialize in remember, the goal isn't to be a specialist. Specialists are not fit. It is easy to fall in love with one area and loose site of the overall picture. After a period of time evaluate whether what your have chosen to focus on is better, and when it is time to become a generalist again…because generalists are freaking FIT!


A little bit from Revelation 19 put to poetry.
The day of God's total revelation to his children will most assuredly be a great and glorious day. Until that day comes we can live our lives in the joyful expectation that we have been promised the Kingdom, one day soon.
There are only lies and destruction!
Times are troubling but God's awesome wonder is behind it all!
When we take a look around, outside of the beauty of His creations and our personal blessings... there is a lost world and we need to let them know the truth...let your light shine in the darkness of unbelief.

Cherry Hills Village, Colo. – Few people in sports handled pressure situations better than John Elway.
Over a 16-year, Hall-of-Fame career with the Denver Broncos, Elway posted a 148-82-1 record while leading his team to five Super Bowls and two world championships. He is perhaps best known for producing The Drive, a 98-yard touchdown march in the 1987 AFC title game at Cleveland's Municipal Stadium, catapulting Denver to its second-ever Super Bowl appearance and first since 1977.
Elway and the Broncos would lose that Super Bowl to the New York Giants in the Rose Bowl, a trend that would continue again in 1988 (Washington Redksins) and 1990 (San Francisco 49ers).
He would have to wait eight agonizing more seasons to get a shot at redemption. But as he told the assembled audience at the 2012 U.S. Amateur Players' Dinner Sunday night, Elway needed to change his philosophical approach to pro football's biggest game.
It's a message he wanted the field of 312 golfers to absorb before going into their version of the Super Bowl this week at Cherry Hills Country Club and CommonGround Golf Course, the companion course for stroke-play qualifying.
How am I going to resolve this issue? Elway asked himself after his first three Super Bowl failures. What I came up with relates to everyone in this room. How do you handle pressure situations?
The 52-year-old Elway, now the Broncos' executive vice president of football operations and a longtime Cherry Hills C.C. member, recently asked that question of his future Hall-of-Fame quarterback Peyton Manning, whom Denver acquired via free agency this offseason. Manning is fanatical when it comes to preparation, whether it's watching game tape or executing plays over and over through repetition in practice. It's that work ethic that allows him to be calm in the heat of the moment.
Pressure to me is not knowing what you're doing, Manning told Elway.
For Elway, pressure was self-inflicted. He always had higher expectations for himself than anyone else on the team. He wanted to win the Super Bowl so badly that it affected his performance.
When Denver beat Pittsburgh to earn a Super Bowl berth against the defending-champion Green Bay Packers, Elway phoned his mom. Can you believe it, we get another chance to go back to the Super Bowl.
His mom, Janet, retorted, Do we really have to go back to the Super Bowl? Elway answered by telling his mom that the only chance the Broncos had at redeeming past failure was to step up to the plate and deliver a better effort.
So as he and his teammates approached the 1998 Super Bowl against the heavily favored and defending-champion Green Bay Packers, Elway reflected on his past performances. He realized that he needed to live in the moment rather than think about the outcome.
I'm not going to let myself think of what it would be like to be a champion, Elway told the audience, which included USGA officials and championship volunteers. All that does is put that [pressure] back on yourself. You can never want anything too bad. Take it one step at a time, one shot at a time, and stay in the moment.
That philosophy – and a great running back named Terrell Davis – propelled the 14-point-underdog Broncos to a 31-24 win over Green Bay. The next year, Denver repeated as champions and Elway retired from the game at 38 as one of the greatest quarterbacks in NFL history.
I can tell you this, I miss having the ball in my hand, said Elway, who hasn't thrown a competitive pass in 14 years. There's nothing better than having the ball in your hand and there's nothing better than having a club in your hand.
The ultra-competitive Elway is now an avid golfer and he said that he often goes to Cherry Hills to hide out as it's one of the few places in Denver where he can escape without being bombarded with autograph requests or questions regarding the Broncos. And those lessons he learned on the gridiron can often be translated into golf, especially the preparation and dedication it takes to be a champion.
He understands what the competitors this week will be feeling when they step to the first tee, and he wanted to remind them of one key intangible.
I hope and pray for everyone in this room – whether you are a [pre-championship] favorite or an underdog – when this week is over for you that you can walk away saying, 'I didn't get in my own way,' said Elway. That I played the best that I can play because a lot of times, our mind will prevent us from being as good as we can be. We're thinking about the outcome before we even do it.
I want you to appreciate where you are and understand that everyone in this room deserves to be in this championship. Stay in the moment and appreciate where you are and allow yourself to play the best golf you can play.

How the Ohio River Valley Water Sanitary Commission's role as steadfast defender of the Ohio River has changed over time
A river as powerful and important as the Ohio lays the groundwork for many possible futures.
Cedric Rose
I live in Mount Washington, on the east side of Cincinnati, roughly the midpoint of the 981-mile Ohio River. Below us, near the mouth of the Little Miami River, marinas, barge terminals and Cincinnati Water Works' Miller Treatment Plant line the river's bank.
The Water Works has these old red-roofed castles on both the Ohio and Kentucky sides that seem to stand sentinel over the water. The plant draws 88 percent of Cincinnati's water from the Ohio. Next door to the Water Works lies a long building, low in profile like a Civil War ironclad. It's easy to miss as you follow Route 52, the Ohio River Scenic Byway. This is the headquarters of a little-known organization that saved the Ohio River's life.
The Ohio River Valley Water Sanitary Commission, or ORSANCO, is comprised of eight states in the Ohio River watershed: Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia and West Virginia. ORSANCO was formed in 1948 to solve the boundary-thwarting problem of water pollution across state lines.
At the time, the river was an embarrassment and a hazard. The Ohio was one of the most industrialized watersheds in the country, and by the 1930s, 60 sewer outfalls in Cincinnati alone fouled the river with an estimated 350 million annual tons of untreated sewage. This continued into the 1940s. People were getting sick.
Something needed to be done, but industry stood staunchly opposed to regulation. The river found an unlikely champion in the Cincinnati Chamber of Commerce. In spring 1934, at the end of a civic beautification committee meeting, Hudson Biery, public relations director for the Cincinnati Street Railway Company, stood up. While we are cleaning up the city, he suggested, why not clean up the river, too? "The citizens of Cincinnati don't need to be reminded every time asparagus is served for dinner in Pittsburgh."
William F. Wiley, militant editor of the Cincinnati Enquirer, which had long been publishing articles decrying the river's state, got behind Biery and the Cincinnati Stream Pollution Committee was soon formed. This was the seed, nurtured by like-minded individuals and organizations throughout the Ohio River Valley, that grew into ORSANCO.
They knew they would only succeed through a partnership that included all of the Ohio River Valley states, but they started local, earning regional support. ORSANCO's design as an interstate agreement was further encouraged by a federal government that favored regional solutions to pollution. Looking back, Biery suggested that it was backing from the business community that had helped break industry's blockade against such an idea.
The chamber's initiative gained county-wide support, and was soon matched on the other side of the river by the Covington (Kentucky) Chamber of Commerce's creation of a sanitary district. While most agreed that an interstate agreement was the way to go, what that agreement looked like would take years to iron out. Progress stalled with World War II, during which the river's state worsened. Proposals were drafted, haggled over and finally signed.
As ORSANCO got to work, pushing for municipalities throughout the valley to invest in treatment plants, the results were almost immediate. Before ORSANCO, less than 1 percent of the sewage generated along the river received treatment. Just 18 years later, 99 percent of it went through treatment plants. By 1965, 90 percent of the 1,705 industrial establishments along the river's length complied with ORSANCO's minimum industrial waste requirements.

ORSANCO is still going. These days, it monitors the river at locks, dams and tributaries for metals, radiation, chemicals and biologicals. Their biologists are out there every summer, electrically stunning and counting fish for the largest river fishery dataset in existence.
Key to my health — and yours, if you live in a municipality along the Ohio's banks — is their source water protection program, through which ORSANCO partners with drinking water utilities. For example, ORSANCO operates an organic compound detection system, which monitors around the clock for spills. When one occurs, ORSANCO staff track, model and share information with downstream water utilities. ORSANCO also sets pollution control standards for levels of contaminants, based on their impairment of four essential uses of the river: drinking and industrial water supply, recreation and habitat for fish and wildlife.
A few years ago, ORSANCO's board of commissioners flirted with eliminating its pollution control standards. The reason, according to ORSANCO Chief Engineer and Executive Director Richard Harrison, is that the Clean Water Act had developed to a point that some people on the commission felt there were now redundancies between ORSANCO and the federal act — and that this entailed altogether too much regulation. "The thought that you can put everything in a regulatory arena and have the same level of investment in infrastructure replacement just isn't accurate," he said.
ORSANCO embarked on a multi-year review process that resulted in June 2019 with the decision to revise those standards to allow for "greater flexibility" among its member states. There was immediate blowback. Over three public sessions, four hearings and multiple webinars, the commission received more than 10,000 comments, almost all of them against revising the standards it had long set. It's the word "flexibility" that vexes many concerned citizens who worry it removes a much-needed check on polluters.
The news came at what felt like a bad time for the Ohio River. Cincinnati's "Bill Keating Jr. Great Ohio Swim," the only open water swim across the Ohio and back, was canceled in October due to a harmful algal bloom (HAB). The Trump administration's repeal of Obama-era protections of drinking water supplies was ringing in my ears. And for the umpteenth year running, the Ohio River had been listed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency [EPA] as the dirtiest river in America based on raw tonnage of emissions.
ORSANCO's seemingly softened stance felt like a steadfast defender of our river had put down its sword.
Harrison told me the recent revision doesn't in any way change its mission to protect the four uses of the river. And while the compact grants the commission authority to "issue orders on any entity discharging sewage or industrial waste," per the ORSANCO agreement, it falls to the states to actually enact legislation necessary to maintain their Ohio River waters according to the standards. In practice, enforcement happens through the EPA, which publishes its own water quality standards, and the National Pollutants Discharge Elimination System, which is part of the Clean Water Act.
Tom Fitzgerald, a federally appointed ORSANCO commissioner and director of the Kentucky Resources Council, was a voice of both dissent and compromise in the revision process. The latest review of the pollution control standards revealed that one state, Illinois, wasn't applying any of ORSANCO's standards to its discharge permitting and another, Ohio, was only using some of them, he explained. (Ohio has since moved to implement them.) Some ORSANCO commissioners argued that the discrepancy in application of the standards was leading to undue confusion.
"The reality is there's no mechanism in those pollution control standards or in the compact to compel a member state to use the standards," Fitzgerald told me. For ORSANCO to compel any one of the member states to comply would be unlikely, given that it requires a vote from two out of three of the commissioners appointed by each of the states, including the offending state. And for ORSANCO to force compliance on one of its member states would have a corrosive effect, he said, jeopardizing by extension the other vital roles ORSANCO fills.
But outright elimination of these historically agreed-upon standards "would have sent entirely the wrong message at a time when the science behind pollution control and the premise that you don't compromise public health for economic considerations are under attack," and when the EPA's standards are being delayed, repealed and otherwise revised, Fitzgerald said. "I think that for ORSANCO to have signaled a retreat on water quality would have been devastating."

The muddy Ohio was unusually clear at Cincinnati this year. Near the banks you could actually see the bottom. But pretty quickly, a green film of algae formed in the water. As the date of the "Bill Keating Jr. Great Ohio Swim" approached, Miriam Wise was paying close attention to E.coli and harmful algae levels in ORSANCO's weekly water quality reports. Wise works for Adventure Crew, the nonprofit that organizes the swim. Adventure Crew hoped conditions would change, that the HAB would drift downstream. When it didn't, they canceled the swim. That's a shame, Wise said, because registrations for the event have been on the rise. The Ohio Department of Natural Resources has also seen increased registration for kayaks and canoes. People are flocking back to the river, which feeds back into a wellspring of support.
The Ohio River Paddlefest, which Wise also organizes, wasn't canceled. This August event is the largest group paddle in the nation. The Ohio is closed to motorized and barge traffic for an en masse 10-mile float. As usual, thousands turned out. Kayaks and canoes spread across the mile-wide river in a bright flotilla. Wise said the event reconnects people with the river, which they then share, counteracting the bad rap for "the most valuable natural resource in the region," she said.
During the summer, Brewster Rhoads, who founded the Ohio River Paddlefest, swims in the river about five times a week from the Ohio River Launch Club, where he moors his steel, motorless double-decker Kelly houseboat. Rhoads has lived in Mount Washington much longer than me — since the 1980s — but like me, his preferred route into the city follows the water. Over the decades, he's watched that neighborhood, Cincinnati's historic East End, transform as Mom and Pop shops close with the departure of residents whose livelihoods were tied to the river. This was the center of Cincinnati's booming steamboat industry. Steamboat captains lived here, he said. And a couple of grand (if dilapidated) old dames still stand there, with high turret rooms that take in the broad sweep of water.
Photographers Charles Fontayne and William S. Porter captured the history of this place in their first panorama of an American city: "Daguerrotype View of Cincinnati." The image was taken from a Newport, Kentucky rooftop in September 1848, almost exactly a century before the ORSANCO compact was signed in Cincinnati.
This length of bank is shown in the eighth and final plate of the series. It's a diagonal shot across the upriver water. Dozens of silvery sternwheelers stand along the banks at what was then called Fulton, named for the inventor of the commercial steamboat. Timber and industrial detritus tumble into the river beneath smoke-shrouded, denuded hills. In the foreground, just off the Kentucky shore, a man drives his horse and cart in the shallows. Held up to the present, it completes a picture of how deeply we have relied on this waterway, how hard we have used it. How central it was and will always be to the landscape and communities through which it wends.
Our present economic connection to the river is no less real, but easier to overlook. Energy generated along its banks travels over high-tension lines from rural power stations. Riverside utilities and industries are boxed in behind high levees and fencing.
Meanwhile, in that familiar succession of neighborhoods, the old riverside villages are being replaced by new communities for those who can afford a premium river view. In downtown Cincinnati, as in many river cities, millions are being invested in riverfront development that draws on the beauty and sense of place only a river can provide. The shift from industrial to commercial and residential is probably good for the river's overall ecology, Rhoads thinks. And while location alone doesn't connect you with the river the way swimming or paddling these waters will, those new water-facing windows have potential to build what Rhoads calls "a constituency of concern for the health of the river."

So if ORSANCO was never an enforcer, how did it manage to accomplish so much? And what does that say about its the future?
Edward J. Cleary, ORSANCO's first director, believed the commission's success lay in its appeal to the ultimate authority on the fate of the river: public opinion. From the beginning, it mounted PR and community action campaigns in some 3,000 riverside cities and towns, made films, held rallies, all of which garnered citizen support at the ballot box for the bond issues that primarily financed water-treatment infrastructure. In "The ORSANCO Story: Water Quality Management in the Ohio Valley," Cleary, an engineer, writer and former employee of Thomas Edison, estimated the project came out to an average price of about $100 per capita across the Ohio River Valley.
ORSANCO is still waging a PR campaign for a river that many, including environmental activists, say still has an image problem: its designation as the most polluted waterway in America, based on the EPA's annual toxic inventory report.
News reports touting those numbers do the river a disservice, Harrison said, because they don't account for overall volume, flow and other factors like where discharges occur. Under normal flow conditions, he said, from a bacterial standpoint the river is safe for recreation. "When you look at the Ohio River Sweep [the annual volunteer-powered cleanup ORSANCO organizes along the river's entire length], when you look at the Ohio River Recreation Trail, and at the Great Ohio River Swim, these are all events that show that in actuality the river is in amazing condition."
In the coming years, ORSANCO must adapt, developing programs to guard against emerging contaminants with difficult-to-pronounce names, even as it tracks legacy pollutants and residual damage from mining and industry past. Next year, Harrison told me, they will be partnering with the EPA on sampling for perfluorinated compounds, or PFAS, which are the focus of lawsuits against DuPont for releasing them into the Ohio. HABs, like the one in 2019 that covered 300 miles of river or a 2015 bloom that covered 700 miles, are a complex new threat to health, by no means unique to the Ohio River Valley.
And then there's a past that threatens to return. "There's the issue of the viability of small drinking water and wastewater systems," Fitzgerald said. "You know we almost have two worlds out there. We have those cities and those communities that can afford safe and reliable treatment and we have those systems that have failing or close-to-failing drinking water systems."
A river as powerful and important as the Ohio lays the groundwork for many possible futures. ORSANCO, it seems, has a role in all of them. There's just too much at stake. It's essential for all the river's users to sit at the table, because the more eyes on the river, the better.

I have a slight obsession with all things 20's and 30's from furniture and ornaments to clothes and art. It was a very exciting period in history where perceptions of many things changed and I think many of todays liberal attitudes, in particular women's fashion, owe much to that time.
Post war, Walter Gropius created the Bauhaus school of art, design and architecture. The Bauhaus style is characterised by it's stark geometric shapes and students were always encourage to create their art with consumerism in mind; a controversial stance, but one which Gropius believed heavily in since the German economy was in post war turmoil. He taught that function was every bit as important as form and that still stands true today.
The Bauhaus style has been a constant influence on fashion since it's origins and I am always excited to see a designer interpret the movement. That's why the work of Matthew Ames is so appealing to me. He has taken the stripped back ethos of the Bauhaus movement - that respect for materials - and incorporated the geometric shapes to great effect. The result is an exploration of circular and diamond patterns in monochrome and warm reds.
The beauty of Ames' work is that rather than throwing a curve ball each season, he prefers to hone his own look and seems unswayed by trends. If you buy an Ames piece this season the you can be sure that it'll still work next season and all season's after that. That ideal seems, intentionally or not, to reference the Bauhaus movement too.
I am absolutely loving the exaggerated sleeves, which we also saw at Lanvin A/W07, and the overall feeling of being accessibly avant-garde, which seems a contradiction in terms, but it works. It'll be no surprise to you either that Ames names Rei Kawakubo and Martin Margiela as two of his heaviest influences.
love the clothes and the model!
Love your addition of the red circles (it is your addition?!), they illustrate your point perfectly!
This is really inspiring, I love bauhuas and the whole modernist era, great to see designs influenced but such a great movement. And it really works, so wearable. I need that white shirt/skirt combo. Oh and those red dots are perfect!


"Evolution is a fact," says J. William Schopf, UCLA professor of earth, planetary and space sciences.
Something I think is wrong with this.
Here is the link to the article: Sulfur Bacteria, Uncharged for Billions of Years, Confirm Darwinian Evolution. Come Again?
Well worth the couple of minutes to read.
Evolution happens by just plain luck or happenstance. There is no reason, no intelligence, or guidance. So what are the odds that a functioning protein would just happen to be formed?
This article, Comparing the Odds: The Seahawks Game Versus...Evolution? explains.
"Even the most die-hard Seattle fans would agree that the odds of last week's Seahawks win were quite small. They had to come back from a 12-point deficit in the last three minutes of the game. At that point the odds for a win were only 0.1 percent.
According to the win probability graph from ProFootballReference.com, the Seahawks only had a .70 percent chance of winning the game after Wilson's pick [interception at 5:04 to go] -- that's less than one percent.
Believe it or not though, things actually got worse after that. Seattle's chances of winning fell to .10 percent at the 3:07 mark after Wilson threw an incomplete pass to Jermaine Kearse.
So what won the game? For the Seahawks to take the championship a combination of intelligence, skill, and luck had to come together. But I'm betting it was mainly intelligence and skill that gave the breathtaking win to the Seahawks. It would be highly unlikely to have happened by chance alone.
Why? A chance of 0.1 percent…"
This is essentially improbable. To win the game took intelligence, not random happenings. Even though the Sea Hawks won against seemingly impossible odds, it was not just a random happening.
The same can be said for evolution.


It's tempting to say that the jolly imbibers at the old Magnolia Brewery's taproom sucked down the 5-cent mugs of suds until they saw pink monkeys. But that's twisting history, mixing up then and now.
The Magnolia taproom at 715 Franklin — known today as the Historic Magnolia Ballroom — has its Pink Monkey. It's a dance club in the basement. But more than that, the 94-year-old Italianate tavern-cafe-office building has the distinction of being the first commercial structure to come under the aegis of the city's new protected-landmark ordinance.
That designation, which will increase the two-story building's chances of being preserved in perpetuity, was celebrated Monday in a brief sidewalk ceremony featuring Mayor Bill White, City Councilwoman Pam Holm and leaders of local historic preservation organizations.
"It's my privilege to take my building and have it survive through the ages," said Bart Truxillo, a restoration-preservation architect who bought the two-story building in 1967. "This is a really dramatic event. ... I strongly believe that preserving resources makes them more valuable."
Since the ordinance was enacted in the summer of 2005, 15 city properties have been or likely soon will be approved for protection. Among them are the art deco City Hall and the 1926-vintage Central Library Julia Ideson Building. Fourteen private residences also have been or soon will be designated.
Before passage of the protected-landmark ordinance, which applies to buildings nominated by their owners, city laws could, in effect, do little more than delay razing of buildings targeted for demolition.
The new ordinance requires that candidate buildings meet a number of requirements regarding age and historic and architectural significance. Once approved by the city's Archaeological and Historical Commission and by City Council, they can be altered, moved or demolished only with city permission.
Preservationists hope that the measure will fuel a growing trend to rehabilitate historic structures rather than tear them down. Since the ordinance's enactment, said Ramona Davis, executive director of the Greater Houston Preservation Alliance, the city's overall preservation prospects have risen to "about seven on a scale of 10."
Even so, the fate of beloved Houston structures remains insecure. In July, Davis' group declared that three iconic structures — the River Oaks Shopping Center on Gray, the River Oaks Theatre and the Alabama Theatre — were in peril. None of those structures is old enough to be covered by the new ordinance.
Alarm over the iconic buildings' future spurred more than 23,000 people to sign an online petition calling for them to be saved. Socialite Carolyn Farb led a cadre of black-clad protesters to the River Oaks Theatre, where they held aloft illuminated popcorn bags.
The buildings' owner, Weingarten Realty Investors, said only the segment of the shopping center on the northeast corner of Gray and Shepherd would be replaced with new development.
Holm, who championed the protected-landmark ordinance in City Council, noted Houston is "a very young city," whose "yesterday was still today." Increasingly, though, she said, Houston residents are recognizing the value of historic structures. "This ordinance," she said, "is a valuable model for moving forward."
G. Randle Pace, the city's historical preservation officer, said a shift in market forces that has made refitting historic buildings for use as apartments profitable has brightened prospects for saving some of the city's oldest structures. The 1998 renovation of the Rice Hotel as loft apartments ignited that trend.
Davis noted, too, that the city's recently failed bid to host the 2012 Olympics — lost for deficiencies in the "intangibles" category — has underscored to developers and other business leaders the importance of enhancing the city's quality of life.
Creation of public spaces and preservation of significant historic buildings are means to that end, she suggested.
"I've sat with many boards of directors, and heard them plan to tear down historic buildings to replace them with parking lots," Truxillo said. "I'd like to hear what they're saying today when they they're thinking: We tore down that seven-story building for a parking lot and we could have had seven stories in condos. Maybe we didn't do such a good job."
At its height in the early 20th century, the Houston Ice and Brewing Co. — better known as the Magnolia brewery — had as many as 10 buildings on 20 acres on both sides of Buffalo Bayou. In 1903, the company produced 500,000 pounds of ice each day and brewed 200,000 barrels of beer annually.
Three years later, the company started running two speed boats loaded with beer from Houston to Key West, Fla., as part of a plan to spread the brew to a thirsty Cuban market.
Designed by the Houston architectural firm H.C. Cooke and Co., the Magnolia taproom and cafe — the building included the company offices — opened in 1912, rising from the foundation of a structure that was built in the late 19th century.
The exterior of the building featured neoclassical styling with Italianate influences. It was much less "Victorian" than the rest of the sprawling industrial complex. Inside, it featured elegant oak woodwork, rotunda ceilings and glass-glazed bricks, unique to Houston.
The building's signature piece was a rainbow-hued series of stained-glass windows depicting a magnolia blossom, the company's logo.
In its early years, the taproom-cafe was a smoke-filled, males-only chamber where big-dollar deals were closed over mugs of beer. But Prohibition's advent in 1920 and a pair of floods that devastated the industrial plant spelled disaster for the brewery. The company closed its doors in 1950.
By the time Truxillo bought the building in 1967, it had been vacant for more than a decade and many of the ornate fixtures had been sold as scrap. The effort to restore the building to its former grandeur, he said, was little less than Herculean.
Today, the building houses the dance club and the ballroom, which can host up to 300 people for special events.
"We have lost a lot of valuable buildings in Houston," Truxillo said. " ... It's been terrible, an embarrassment. But that makes each of the buildings that still exist so much more valuable. ... Character and history, romance and charm — all of that comes with a historic building. You can't manufacture that."

There are several codes and regulatory standards that are used by various local governments for defining spray booth requirements. Each state, county and city usually selects one of these codes as the main top-level code to reference requirements. Some local governments will create their codes based on special requirements, but they often use one of the main standards as a guide.
NFPA-33 National Fire Protection Association's Standard for Spray Application Using Flammable or Combustible Materials (current version is 2007). This is the most common code and does a very good job of defining how a spray booth is designed and constructed, air flow requirements and fire protection. This standard references many other lower level standards such as NEC (National Electric Code), NFPA-101 Life Safety code and NFPA-17 Dry Chemical Extinguishing Systems.
IFC International Fire Code – This international standard is a short and slightly modified version of NFPA-33. It does not have more or less stringent requirements than NFPA-33 but some requirements are included in sections outside of the spray booth chapter. This code is commonly used in areas of international trade zones.
IBC International Building Code – This code is similar to the IFC code but is rarely used at this time.
OSHA 29 CFR1910 Occupational Health and Safety Requirements – Each state has OSHA or NIOSH laws and codes that cover worker safety. Many states restate the federal codes. The chapters about spray booths often copy NFPA-33, but NFPA-33 is often revised before the federal OSHA code. The emphasis on the wording in this code is worker safety so there are more detailed requirements specific about ventilation.
Every spray booth constructed in the USA that is used in a workplace environment is required to comply with local OSHA codes so it is important for the spray booth users and owner to understand this code that is enforceable long after the booth is completed. A spray booth will be certified to the current NFPA, IFC or IBC code only when it is being constructed, but it must always comply with OSHA requirements.


Decorating the walls in the interior of the house can be complete and partial, which means some design styles. For decoration walls now used mostly decorative plaster, modern wallpaper, all kinds of plates and plating. For interior decoration of the house in classical style, furals, pilasters, stucco, friezes and profiles are used. Modern creative interiors of houses use wall paintings, wooden linings, clinkers and stone decoration.

"A method for scoring a document, comprising: identifying a document; obtaining one or more types of history data associated with the document; and generating a score for the document based on the one or more types of history data."
The patent application sheds significant light for those pursuing search engine optimization with Google. Patent applications can be difficult to understand, so following are highlights for those that don't speak lawyer.
It is well known that Google uses links as a significant ranking element. Although the patent application doesn't dispute the value of linking, it does highlight the best method for pursuing a linking strategy. Simply put, consistently adding links will have a much better effect than adding links in bunches.
Google notes in the patent application that it looks at links from a historical perspective. The search engine notes the discovery date of links, the life span of the link and the speed at which a new web site obtains links. This approach reveals that Google is discounting quick link exchange strategies such as buying bulk links for your site. Instead, Google appears to consider a natural linking evolution as a sign that a site is "legitimate."
1. The anchor text of the link.
2. The discovery date of the link.
3. The growth rate of links to your site.
4. The rate at which links to a page appear and disappear.
5. The age of links with older links carrying more value.
6. Numerous links to a new site will be looked at as spam, unless some of the links are from highly valued sites.
7. Link growth that is constant is optimal.
8. Sudden bunches of new links will be devalued as spam.
A general theme becomes clear as one reads the Google patent application. Google values sites that are in it for the long term, update regularly and consistently grow in link popularity. Taking this theme into account, it is easy to understand why the Google sandbox exists.
A steady approach is the key if you intention is to gain top rankings in Google. While the delay can be aggravating, the results are certainly worth it.
Every webmaster knows that the free search engines are a major source of traffic.They also know that applying all the SEO techniques in the world will not in itself get their web pages spidered, indexed and listed.
Getting your website returned by the search engines as a high result is a significant goal by most webmasters because higher search results means higher traffic and revenues. However, there are some tips you can utilize to help your website gain better rankings by the search engines and ways to turn the search engines into your 24/7 salesmen.

Jackson City Council approved the Dream Center's rezoning request 5-3.
After a 60-day delay, the Jackson City Council approved the Dream Center's rezoning request to build a new facility along the 50 block of Oil Well Road and Old Humboldt Road 5-3 on second reading.
"It's a blessing from God and we're excited to move forward," Dream Center executive director Gail Gustafson said.
The vote on second reading was delayed after a motion from City Councilman David Cisco was approved to allow Belle Trace and Cottonwood residents to hire a private engineer, Ledford Engineering in Memphis, to study hydraulics and potential flooding issues in the area.
Cisco said he's disappointed with the vote and is not against the Dream Center, but flooding concerns and complaints from residents helped him decided to vote no on both readings.
Cisco was one of three who voted against the rezoning request, along with Councilmen Harvey Buchanan and Charles Rahm. Councilmen Scott Conger, Ernest Brooks, Randy Wallace, Johnny Lee Dodd and Charles "Pepper" Bray voted in favor of the request.
Bray, who voted against the rezoning request on first reading, said he was satisfied with the information given by the private engineer, which made him change his vote.
Jackson Mayor Jerry Gist said the vote on the Dream Center was an agonizing one for the council, one that comes once every couple of years.
Gustafson said the Dream Center has raised about $400,000 to $500,000 of the $3.5 million needed for the new facility.
The Dream Center, a nonprofit in Jackson which has helped homeless women and children since 2004, is currently located at 1970 N. Highland Ave.

Innovation Insight: Reserveage Bergamot Cholesterol Support with Resveratrol
Home Health & Beauty
January 23, 2015 By Innovation Editor - North America Reserveage In	Health & Beauty, Innovations, North America
This week Gama looks at how the 'healthy' associations of the Mediterranean diet are finding a new expression through supplements, with the launch of a cholesterol support tablet based on functional botanical ingredients – Reserveage Bergamot Cholesterol Support with Resveratrol.
Recent years have seen a groundswell of support behind what is often termed the 'Mediterranean diet' – a regime said to provide a number of health benefits, particularly in relation to cardiovascular function. Prompted by a belief that the lower incidence of heart disease in Mediterranean countries is linked to certain beneficial dietary habits, and even in the absence of a firm understanding of which elements of that diet provide the greatest benefits, a number of 'Mediterranean' ingredients have seen their stock rise in health terms – from grains and fish to red wine and olive oil.
Piggybacking on the Mediterranean diet phenomenon is Reserveage Bergamot Cholesterol Support with Resveratrol, a new product from US supplement producer Reserveage Nutrition that "delivers three Mediterranean botanicals that help maintain healthy cholesterol levels and provide antioxidant support". Alongside olive fruit extract, the product contains a bergamot complex that is claimed to "help maintain cholesterol, triglycerides and lipids within normal range" as well as a polyphenol complex based on organic red grapes and resveratrol from wildcrafted Japanese Knotweed to promote "healthy cellular productivity".
Of the three 'Mediterranean botanicals' cited by Reserveage, resveratrol, an ingredient found in red wine that is said to prevent blood vessel damage and lower some types of cholesterol, has become the best known in the functional space, enjoying a certain amount of popularity without ever achieving the breakthrough moment that has occasionally been predicted. Meanwhile bergamot, a Mediterranean-grown citrus fruit, has been more of a niche player, although the launch of Reserveage's bergamot-based supplement coincides with new research that claims to demonstrate the efficacy of bergamot extract as a cholesterol-lowering ingredient.
Regardless of the veracity of its health claims, Reserveage Bergamot Cholesterol Support with Resveratrol makes an interesting case for the ability of broad nutritional themes to impact the functional sector. By effectively aligning their products to those ideas that have wide exposure in the consumer space – such as the Mediterranean diet – manufacturers of supplements and other functional products may hope to increase accessibility and appeal for their brand lines, as well as benefitting from the added credibility of broadly-accepted, mainstream dietary trends.

It's a complicated and emotional process, with many factors in play: property title issues, creditors, the complexity of the estate and – perhaps most crucial – the family's relationship with the deceased at the time of death.
The probate lawyers at OWM Law can guide you on how inventory assets, deal with claims by creditors and against the estate and mediate with family members, so your loved one's wishes are met.
It doesn't matter if you're a three-person family owned business or a large company with hundreds of employees, there will be times when your firm needs reliable legal counsel.
Some things we just can't plan for. Tripping on a broken sidewalk. A drunk driver running a red light.
When these things happen, you need an experienced personal injury lawyer by your side. These kinds of incidents can be life-changing, devastating you financially and emotionally, whether you are defending against a claim or litigating one.

Comic Creator of the Year spotlights the publishers, writers, and artists involved in creating the beautiful works all of us geeks love to read, whether it's on the web or in print.
Tornoe is a reporter and digital editor for the Philadelphia Inquirer—and one of the last remaining sports cartoonists on staff at a newspaper. His art illustrating the Phillies, Sixers, Eagles and Flyers and their surrounding communities has a loyal following on Philly.com's Tailgaters blog.
As an writer and illustrator, Larsen has worked with clients such as Dark Horse, DC Online, and Cartoon Network, in addition to publishing her own comics on The Larsen Project. Last October, her work appeared in the final issue of the Regular Show comic series, to favorable reviews. Her contributions to a forthcoming Adventure Time shorts collection will be released in November from KaBOOM!
Brandon Bitros
Newcomer Bitros launched indie comic book label Blackstone Comics last fall and has already released two titles: The Fist, a vigilante hero story set in City of Brotherly Love at the dawn of the 20th century, and James vs The New World Order, a post-apocalyptic action comedy set in an ambiguous, not-so-distant future.
Maki Naro
Maki is a comic creator and science communicator through comics. His work breaks down topics such as the Zika virus, recently featured on fusion.net, and vaccines, featured on thenib.com. He also writes/draws regularly for Popsci.com, highlighting current topics as well as a popular ongoing webcomic called "Sufficiently Remarkable."
Emily K's most popular series is Places You Find Cats, a daily comic blog that features where you can find cats. Her recent work includes a poignant piece called When Dawn Breaks, focused on how franchises like Twilight encourage violence against women, envisioning a world in the not-too-distant future where romanticized abuse has become so pervasive that women's shelters have ballooned and struggle to keep up with demand, as well as more topical comics on sadfunnytruecomic.com.
Jamar Nicholas
An award-winning cartoonist and educator, Jamar Nicholas has brought his work to Wizard World Philly, Baltimore Comic-Con, and New York Comic-Con. His recent work includes Leon: Protector of the Playground, an all-ages super kid hero graphic novel.
Kelly Phillips & Claire Folkman
An all-girl comic anthology curated by Philadelphia's own Kelly Phillips and Claire Folkman, Dirty Diamonds strives to give the women of comics a dedicated outlet for telling their stories. Artists from all around the world have contributed their works over the years, and using this outlet, Phillips and Folkman have been able to give numerous women in comics a platform to stand out.
Their fifth issue, an anthology on comics, featured 32 artists from six different countries, all sharing stories about the medium that they hold dear… comics. Their first professionally printed book, Comics is a stunning anthology, featuring a cover by Carey Pietsch (Adventure Time), and raised over $8,000 on Kickstarter to support its printing.
Showing no sign of slowing down, Dirty Diamonds' latest crowdfund campaign, an anthology on beauty, raised over $17,000 just in June. Learn more about them at www.dirtydiamonds.net.
Ian Sampson
This winter, Ian Sampson was a resident at the Neighborhood Time Exchange West Philadelphia Artist Residency, where for every hour he spent in the studio, he spent one hour volunteering in the community. He documented that experience in several comics, covering the work of fellow resident artists Kandis Friesen, Phillipe Leonard, and Betty Leacraft.
His book Up to the Top was nominated for an Ignatz Award and accepted into the Society of Illustrators' 2015 Comic and Cartoon Art Annual. In between taking care of his new baby and teaching at several area colleges, he's writing new comics.
Learn more about Ian and his work on his website www.ianesampson.com and blog www.blastro.tumblr.com
Locust Moon Press
It's been a landmark year for Locust Moon Comics, the comic-book-shop-art-gallery-small-publisher located in University City. Their Kickstarter funded Little Nemo: Dream Another Dream went on to raise over $150,000, and swept the Eisner Awards in June, taking home the coveted Best Anthology award.
A passion project that took two years to assemble, artists included in the epic anthology included celebrated locals like J. G. Jones, Jeffro Kilpatrick, and New York Times bestselling author Box Brown. Hundreds of some of the most celebrated artists in comics flocked to be a part of this project, giving them the opportunity to pay tribute to one of the greatest innovators in comics, Winsor McCay.
You can learn more about the anthology over on Locust Moon's page for the book, here. http://locustmoon.com/littlenemo/
